Lyrics
It's been a week and I can't tell you a thing I did
I can't sleep, All my friends they're worried again
It's a cycle I won't outgrow
I'm the punchline of some sick joke
I can't bring myself to leave home
But I'm terrified to be alone

I say that I'm fine but it feels like I'm dying
Why do the words in my head get so violent
Half of the time I'm just barely surviving
But I'm trying, I'm trying

No surprise that I'm not one for resolutions
Even in the best times, I'm too scared to smell the roses
It's a cycle I won't outgrow
I'm the punchline of some sick joke
I can't bring myself to leave home
But I'm terrified to be alone

I say that I'm fine but it feels like I'm dying
Why do the words in my head get so violent
Half of the time I'm just barely surviving
But I'm trying, im trying

Tryna be everything to everybody
I feel so much that I almost feel nothing
Half of the time I'm just barely surviving
But
I'm trying, I'm trying
I'm trying, I'm trying
Ohh Yeah
I'm trying, I'm trying
I'm trying, I'm trying
Yeah
I'm trying, I'm trying

I am a 38 year old man, and I am setting here crying my eyes out. This song is amazing man. Thank you

[abbyramos]

You wrote this and put it out into the world. I am so so extremely proud of you. For alot of people, including me, this song is a big warm, comforting hug. I'm so grateful to be supporting you. I don't know if you've realized it or not, but you're a hero in so many ways.
I've said it a few times already but I'll say it again,   just as a reminder. You. Are. Not. Alone.💞 Thanks, Alexander. Don't let the anxiety win... You are stronger than you think.

[violetevergarden]

To everyone who is struggling, I see you trying, I see you are doing your best each day. You are not alone and I may be an Internet stranger the same time, I care about you. Thanks for being so strong each day and I see many people have been strong for too long and that it’s unfair each day feels like a struggle. I’m wishing for brighter days ahead for you all. I struggle with shame and mental illness and sometimes it’s hard to want tomorrow when I know tomorrow will come and the voices get really loud and angry when I’m in distress. Thank you Alexander Stewart for these beautiful and relatable lyrics. I hope for many happier, fulfilling days for you and everyone who comes across this song ♡

this past school year has been so rough, from my young brother passing away from suicide, my grades slipping, and getting crap from my parents....this song made me wanna express my self through music again! Thank you so much, you don't know how much this meant to me

[gissel]

[hollybear]

The lyrics have been stuck in my head all week!!!! I need more!!!

[Rain-pkes]

Man this hits different when you're trying to be more confident even though you're so used to not loving yourself and being insecure.

[schaea]

I'm currently sitting in a secure room at a Canadian hospital as I await an open bed on one of the psychiatric units after a suicide attempt yesterday and this song just resonated with me so much, you have no idea. To know that someone as famous and popular as yourself could be feeling the same sorts of absolute shit feelings that I'm dealing with right now was very, very empowering. Thank you so much for this.

[clarahaynes]

Dear Alexander, this song resonates with me so strongly I currently struggling with anxiety and some pretty severe heartache like so bad that I feel physical pain and listening to your music really helps I just want to say thank you for helping me in my current mental state

[urfavoritemineral]

Anyone any age, at any part in their life can relate to this feeling. I'm so glad you could find the perfect words to put into a song❤

[sharnnellspivey]

Going through grief, this sums up how I feel. New favorite song, that you for writing this.

[abbyramos]

Just finished reading the description... It's like you wrote my deepest feelings onto a piece of paper. Anxiety is a struggle for me.
As you know, I often write comments telling you how much your music helps with my anxiety. Just knowing I'm not the only one struggling with anxiety is comforting.
I really just want to take the time to thankyou for writing this song and being the person who always turns my day around for the better. I always run to your channel when my anxiety gives me a hard time. Just knowing that your music will always be here, is quite calming to my mind. Listen, I love you so SO much. Thankyou for all your music. Thankyou for putting your time and so much emotion into each song. You are such a powerful human being, I need you to understand that. YOU. WILL. NEVER. FIGHT. ALONE.❤

[Theekato]

This song is almost exactly what depression feels like.😢 It really hits deep. Thank you so much for giving us this masterpiece. Love you man. And love you all as well.❤

[claireandersen]

I just found this song, and it makes me feel for you. Every word. No one should feel or go through this, but bless you for being able to put it into music so anyone can relate. Thank you.

[STAY.]

This man has a very beautiful voice. I loved the song, and he always proves that he is one of the strongest voices in the world. Literally, he deserves support I love your voice so much my dear

LETS FRICKING GOOOO 🎉

This song hits home... I've never heard a song more relatable to my life. To anyone hurting too, you'll get through it, and you *are* loved ❤

Edit: AYYYY PREMIERE JUST ENDED 🎉
The lyrics.. I felt that

*"I'm trying"*

[addiereynolds]

I have definitely have related to songs before but never a one about anxiety. This year I experienced the worst anxiety in my life. To the point were I could feel every nerve in my body tense up. Having people has enemies is one thing but to have your own mind to be your worst enemy is worst hands down. Thank you for touching my soul.
